Hope this isn’t a repeated submission. Funny how they’re trying to deflect blame after they tried to change the EULA post breach.

    That headline sounds to me like them claiming “Y’all’re a bunch of eejits for usin’ our service!”

    To which I’d say “Yeah sure, I’m certain that would hold up in court” with the biggest eye roll you could imagine

      I never met a Geneticist who couldn’t immediately recognize this company as a scam. The product wasn’t the papers they send you after doing random marker tests once (so, false positives exist, and they never cared). The product is the DNA they collected by convincing people that their test was even remotely useful or insightful.

      Its entirely based on correlation; and correlation to what? Geographic area? That makes no sense if you know one of any number of fields and many don’t even have to be scientific in nature, or genetics.

      I have always hated them, always told people to never use them and get themselves a proper 50x full genome sequencing since it costed the same; and actually provides real, resolute and reliable data. Not just like borderline pseudoscience. Might as well sent in the shape of your skull.
